Double Chocolate Cherry Muffins

I was trying to think of a way to use my overabundance of Bing cherries last summer. I have an obsession with muffins, so I started brainstorming, and thus was born these wonderful chocolate cherry muffins.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 12 servings

  • 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 ¼ cups white sugar

  • cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • ½ cup milk

  • cup vegetable oil

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

  • 1 ½ cups fresh dark sweet cherries, pitted and chopped

  • 1 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 jumbo (3 1/2-inch) muffin cups or line with paper baking cups.

  2. Stir together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center and set aside.

  3. Whisk together sour cream, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and almond extract in a separate bowl until evenly blended. Pour sour cream mixture into the well; stir in flour mixture until just combined. Fold in cherries and chocolate chips. Spoon into prepared muffin cups, filling half full.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack. Store tightly covered at room temperature.
